“…20. A linear red shift of 0.3 nm/mW is observed, which correspond to an efficiency of 26 µW/GHz, comparable with the best values reported in literature [48] and [49]. The maximum power that can be dissipated in the heaters is 40 mW, so tuning over the full channel spacing is possible without any problem.…”

Abstract-We review recent progress in nanophotonic devices for compact optical interconnect networks. We focus on microdisklaser-based transmitters and discuss improved design and advanced functionality including all-optical wavelength conversion and flip-flops. Next we discuss the fabrication uniformity of the passive routing circuits and their thermal tuning. Finally, we discuss the performance of a wavelength selective detector.Index Terms-Flip-flop, heterogeneous integration, microdisk laser (MDL), network-on-chip, photonic integration, process uniformity, silicon-on-insulator (SOI), wavelength conversion.

“…Among many materials, polymers have shown very efficient thermal tuning due to their low thermal conductivity and high thermo-optic coefficients. InP/InGaAsP microrings fabricated with waferbonding using polymer (BCB) has been tuned with a range of 16nm with 26μW/GHz [4]. Vertically coupled polyimide microrings have been tuned with 50μW/GHz [5].…”

Thermal tuning for high-index-contrast silicon nitride second-order ring filter with low tuning power of 52μW/GHz is analyzed. Efficient tuning of 4.5GHz/K is demonstrated for these filters. Precise centre wavelength stability of approximately 100MHz is obtained with temperature feedback controller. Their compact size, large free spectral range, low tuning power and low thermal crosstalk between the filters make these resonators attractive for photonic integration.

“…Wavelength tuning for integrated photonic filters can be realized through several mechanisms, such as thermooptic induced index change [37,38,[69][70][71][72], electrooptic effect [73,74], carrier induced index changes [3,20,75], and dielectric perturbation by MEMS [26]. [68,72].…”
